When it comes to the Aussies’ famed passion for surfing – two of the best places to head for a few hours’ riding a surfboard are Byron Bay and Arrawarra Beach. Byron Bay leads you to Clarke’s Beach’s gentle waves and the incredible breaks at The Wreck and Broken Head; while Arrawarra Beach is best known for the fantastic Arrawara Headland point break.

Popping on a wet suit for the day and going snorkelling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef is the best way to take in the breathtaking underwater scenery of one of the Earth’s most diverse ocean habitats. From seeing the vibrant coral formations to encountering a diverse array of amazing marine life such as majestic sea turtles and colourful tropical fish to giant clams and graceful stingrays.

The Blue Mountains are home to the iconic Three Sisters natural landmark. According to legend, this unusual rock formation represents three sisters who were turned to stone. Take a hike through the bushland to Echo Point Lookout to view the sisters from an array of vantage points – time your arrival for sunset when these famous residents are illuminated in a golden hue.

The Red Centre – Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park - is the country’s spiritual heart and a place steeped in Aboriginal culture. Take a guided tour to learn about the traditional ways of life, catch the unmissable Wintjiri lightshow over Uluru that tells the local Dreaming story, or even see the unique landscape from above on a tandem sky dive.

Experience the freedom of the open road and unfolding coastal views along the Great Ocean Road. This 243-kilometre spans Australia’s south-eastern coast; from the surf town of Torquay to Allansford on the Hopkins River. Savour the magical sunsets over the Twelve Apostles, whale watch from historic Warrnambool, and walk through lush forests and waterfalls in the Otways. 

Getting up-close to indigenous and often rare wildlife is a must-do – whether it’s spotting the Tasmanian Devils in the wild at Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain, the famous smiling Quokkas on Rottnest Island, and the kangaroos and koalas Kangaroo Island; or watching the nightly spectacle of the little penguins at the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island’s Summerland Beach.

Australia’s capital – Canberra – not only boasts some of the country’s best galleries and museums; but it’s also one of the most scenic places to view from above on a hot air balloon ride as the sun rises on a new day. Keep your camera at the ready to capture amazing vistas of beautiful Lake Burley Griffin and stunning architecture like Parliament House.

The Whitsundays are one of the best places to experience pristine white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, diverse marine life, and some of the world’s finest sailing.
